It’s a little over a year since Dual of the Defaults, and I see that Robb and Maique are posting their updates for 2024, so I’d thought I do the same. There’ve only been a few changes since last year, so much like Robb, I’m only posting the delta:

  • Notes: Obsidian for work. Notion for personal use if the note is long-lived. But I’ve started using Micro.blog notes and Strata for the more short-term notes I make from day to day.
  • To-do: To-do’s are still going to where my notes go, which is now Strata. Although I’m still using Google Keep for shopping lists.
  • Browser: Safari’s out from all machines. It’s Vivaldi everywhere now. Except iPad, where I don’t have a choice.
  • Presentations: Believe it or not, I haven’t had to make a presentation since last year. I am still paying for iA Presenter, and despite some thoughts, I think I’ll continue to use it for future presentations. I should also add that I’m using iA Writer for prose writing, not that I do much of that either.
  • Social Clients: Still Tusky for now, but I’m wondering how long it’ll be before I install a BlueSky client too.
  • Journalling App: I didn’t include this in last year’s list, but it’s worth mentioning here as I’ve moved away from Day One to a home grown web-app, similar to the one built by Kev Quirk.
  • POSSE: Micro.blog, EchoFeed. Also a new category, now I’m doing this a bit more nowadays.
